**[TABLE 1. Average Yields of the Most Important Land Products per ¼ ha and Annual Milk Yield per Cow]**

[*This table contains agricultural production data organized by commune with columns for wheat, rye, oats, barley, potatoes, beets, hay, and milk production. The data is presented in three sections for communes 1–13, 14–25, and includes calculations for large, medium, and small farms (Grb., Mb., Klb.) and day-laborer farms (Tig.).*]

**[TABLE 3. Consumption of Foodstuffs, Cost of Maintenance per Person per Day, and Annual Family Need for Clothing]**

[*This table records food consumption patterns (grain, potatoes, meat, butter and lard, milk) and maintenance costs in marks (Mk), along with annual clothing expenses, broken down by farm type.*]

**NOTES ON BUDGETARY ACCOUNTS**

*There is confusion in the budgets here. At first (communes No. 1, 2) it was adopted to show in the monetary account only the money expenditure for hired laborers, while in the production costs (profitability calculation) — the entire expenditure on hired laborers, that is, the money wage plus food, which was explicitly stipulated.*

*But in commune No. 5 (Grb.) in the production costs there stands the same sum of 1,211 marks that appears in the monetary account!!*

*Furthermore, in the column "value of products taken from the farm for the family" (1,721 in No. 5 Grb.) are included the provisions of hired laborers: this belongs in the gross revenue!! But in the production costs only the money expenditure 1,2 / / marks. What kind of confusion is this!?!*

*Thus, from column (a) one must oneself subtract the maintenance of hired laborers (for example, 1,721 — for ¼ person. Consequently, ¼ of 1,721).*

*Show hired laborers only the money wage.*

*From the budgets almost everything has been excerpted, indeed almost everything without almost*

*(1) Table of general conclusions (taken entirely from the book) [here also sum of money income and expenditure]*

*(2) Number and maintenance of livestock*

*(3) Maintenance of family and hired laborers*

*(4) Number of dead inventory. Maintenance of the farm*

*(5) Profitability calculation*
